For grub, the (hd0) and (hd1) devices are the ordered in the same order 
that the BIOS puts them in, so if you are going to switch them around in 
the BIOS, you should set the entries in the grub.conf to (hd0,0) instead 
of (hd1,0).  In otherwords, (hd0) is always "the disk currently being 
booted from".

You can test this by editing the lines when grub comes up, and change 
kernel to be:

kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1
